the sorting forms • • •

Make sure you've read our guidelines for sorting applications HERE before you actually post an app!

1. When you're ready to post your application, post it as a NEW TOPIC in this forum.

2. Make sure your topic title is your Character's First and Last name, e.g. Bob Smith. Please make sure it matches your username in every way. If you need help changing your username, please PM a staffer or ask in the cbox.

3. Please do not post incomplete applications. If your application falls short of either of our minimum word counts of 600 words, it will be considered incomplete. They will not be sorted and will be removed at admin discretion. You can use third party tools such as Google Docs to store your unfinished application. Sorting will go faster if you finish your application before posting it.

4. Both the personality and background sections have a MINIMUM WORD COUNT of 600 words. Each. Please put some thought into these sections and into making characters that are nuanced and not just following the stereotypes of whatever house you wanted to be sorted into.

5. We don't look at the appearance section for sorting, so it's entirely optional and you may fill it out if you wish. (However, if you decide to rank, you'll need to add an appearance anyway!)

6. Although you may tell us your desired house in your application, you are not guaranteed that house. The sorting hat will decide which house your character belongs in. (This does not apply to professor characters.)

7. You DO NOT need to start out as a first year.

8. If you would like to create a professor or school staff member, PM an admin so we can check class availability and reserve for you as you work on your application! Your first character can not be a professor.

9. If you are joining the site with two characters to start, please wait for your first account to be sorted before posting the next! We sort quick so the wait won't be long ;3

10. When choosing an Out Of Character alias, please take a look at the member directory HERE of all the OOC names currently in use!
